Why does everyone hate Call of duty now?

[QUOTE="blueboxdoctor"]

[QUOTE="jer_1"]

The first two MW's were pretty revolutionary for their time, now people are starting to realize that the games are bringing less and less innovation to the table and it seems to be pissing people off more and more each time. All I can say is MW3 better kick all ass or people might actually learn a lesson. I won't be buying it but there is no doubt I will be reading about the game to see how it turns out.

I wouldn't really say MW2 was overly revolutionary. I can't comment on the 1st, but from what I've read it seems like it really opened up a whole bunch of new things for the genre.

Yeah, I suppose it wasn't really revolutionary, the first definitely was from my perspective. MW2 just took things to another level, higher quality and added a lot more extra goodies for people to play for, it was a quality game. I guess MW2 would be more evolutionary than revolutionary.

I enjoy COD, but I also believe there is a lot of room for improvement in the series, which I'm not seeing from one game to the next. Until then COD will always be a bargain bin game to me.

i think the call of duty games are good, however they are not amazing. Campaign really needs to be longer, and multiplayer definitely has its flaws

I really really liked COD4.. who didn't?

I skipped MW2 cause it looked identical.

I got BlOps for christmas and had a great time with it, on and offline. Campaign was a refreshing change of pace (it wasn't great, but it was fun), it had an interesting, albeit kinda silly and predictable, and the multiplayer was fun! Not DLC worthy, but I really had a good time with it.

Because it was actually pretty fun during CoD4. The guns had no recoil, the maps designs allowed for faster action, and quick scoping was actually fun because it took skill. MW2 was just a crapfest with noob tubes, OMA, glitches. And with Black Ops, I feel like it's a little TOO balanced...or there's nothing new or something. It's just straight up boring. Just my opinion though :P.

I do like the campaign for the CoD games though. Treyarch always seems to do better on the story, at least for me.

Easy, because Metal Gear Solid 4 and Vanquish still show uwa true reay value is, The game has to be fun

well for one, call of duty elite.

i feel sorry for those dumb enough to PAY to looks at numbers and maps of virtual people shooting, dying, respawning, or looking at stats to prove your "better" than you. cod is becoming a milking cow, and man oh man were they succesful. we will eventually be paying MORE than the game itself on crappy map packs. if they really cared about thier customers they would MAKE MORE GUNS and add them in...

It's just the hip thing nowadays to hate on really popular games.The_Ronin129

I haven't read any of the rest of the thread, but figured I would give my 2 cents. I don't hate call of duty, just mainly burned out on them. I like at least 2 years between my games, even my favorite ones. Otherwise, they start to lose their specialness. For example, I LOVE uncharted 1 and 2 sp and even loved U2 mp, however, if they started coming out every year, I would start to lose interest.

Also, I don't like how there hasn't been much innovation in the series in since CoD4 really. I loved 4, but then IW got lazy and arrogant for MW2. That has been my least favorite in the series since the campaign was just boom, boom, explosion, explosion overload and the mp was horribly unbalanced. Again, just my opinion.

It brainwashes gamers, it forces them to not even give other games a chance because yanno.....they have to play more COD, most overrated piece of turd ever.

I just like to play games. I enjoy cod games for the sp experience. I play very few multi-player games Killzone and Resistance being a two. I think the majority of the hate is directed at the online part of the cod games. just my opinion

COD4 was my intro to online play, and boy oh boy was I hooked! I only buy the Infinity Ward versions... a new COD every single year is WAY too much.

Looking forward to MW3... hopefully it's more like COD4.

Because it's the cool thing to do, the thing is though, everyone who is hating on it will be the ones buying it on release day, and I bet some will even que up at midnight.

I think the series died after COD4. It became overly multiplayer driven. The campaign for previous COD games were great until MW2. The campaign used to be a big focus for the series, now it just feels tagged on. I am not a multiplayer ***** anymore. I will take a great campaign over an FPS multiplayer shooting gallery anyday. I still do not understand the love for it, run from one side of the map to the other, shoot, run, shoot, reload, jump, change weapon, crouch, run, shoot. That is all multiplayer is.

Treyarch make great zombies codsbut the mp terrible with the like of flak jacket. It should had only protect against splash damage not expolsion like claymores,rpg and yea i know was suppose stop noobtubing but they went to far,and ghost make uav pointless.This thing about people hating cod is just stupid nobody really hate cod because it sell so well. It a game made mainly for kids and jump in and play people.

I think mw2 was unbalance but it was way more fun than blops.If infinity ward and slegdehammer games make mw3 like cod4 eveyone be happy but not like blops maybe a little like mw2 just without unblance gameplay.

Modern Warfare 2 is the best selling ps3 game of all time. Obviously there are going to be people who don't like it. Also I haven't heard much complaining about Black ops, its fun, balanced, and gots lots of content. (ex. Zombies, Wager Matches)blabbyboy

Actually, Black Ops sold more than Modern Warfare 2 on the ps3

i still play them, but i dont play MW2 cause it was ruined, thankfully Black Ops fixed that, but their connection issues are still worse than MW2 (so its like a bi-polar effect, or something like that), hopefully MW2 fixes all those problems (they already made sure Commando wasnt in that game)

I'm not an avid player of any online FPS game, but I enjoyed Modern Warfare 2. I don't really mind the CoD franchise one way or the other.

COD4 had great story and I loved the online for the time (best online since goldeneye). being a Wii owner at the time, I could only get my fix with World at War, which was great for Wii, but didn't have that same "wow" factor I got with COD4 on my buddies xbox. Got COD:Reflex onWii, and enoyed it greatly. MW2 was great for the first month, great graphics, great levels (even if the "why" I was there was a little lost on me). Then the online fell apart with nuke boosting, cargo glitchers.So I stopped caring about COD because it never evolved/stopped making sense/glitched out

Switched to Battlefield and never gave blops a try. Not because BFBC2 has a better story (it barely has any story), but for the destruction 2.0 stuff. The maps are always changing. one time you may be able to put a sniper in this building, next time the building could be gone due to tanks and C4. Battlefield 3, hopefully, will be the perfect mix of COD story, and Bad Company multiplayer chaos.

I didn't like Call of Duty before it was cool to not like it :P

Black Ops was HORRIBLE. I always thought the MW games were great, thanks to Infinity Ward. Every game that wasnt developed by them sucked.

Why, oh why, do they have this undying need to go back to older times?????????

I played Modern Warfare 2 a couple months ago. It's actually a solid game. The controls works fine, no glitches, freezing or screen-tearing (wish I could say the same about the Prince of Persia HD trilogy I'm still enduring), great music, good graphics, etc. But honestly, I thought the single-player game was pretty meh. It's not bad. It's just... alright.

I wouldn't purchase another Call of Duty game because I'm more of a single-player gamer and the campaign is too short for me to enjoy. Plus, it doesn't seem to change much with each game.

I think the main reason why it's become "cool" to hate this series is probably spite. Partly because of the success of the series but mostly because of how Activision milks these games with annual releases. If they just took their time, developed one every two years instead and maybe switched up the formula a little bit (granted if it ain't broke, don't fix it), there would probably be less hate. That's my two cents.

I do not like the series. Mainly because, after around 5 seperate games, there is almost NO difference gameplay wise.

I enjoy games that evolve as the series goes on, and my idea of "evolving" isnt adding a bunch of "new weapons for a multiplayer mode and a new campaign". Dont get me wrong, I actually love all of the CoD campaigns, they are amazing. In a cheasy blockbuster movie kind of way anyway.

The general fanbase for CoD is simply awful. on both the PS3 and the 360, servers are all filled with little kids that you have to mute every time you join a game. I wouldnt mind it if it didnt take two shots to kill someone, because damnit, I run out of a building and I get shot and killed almost instantly. you pretty much have to sit down for a whole game just to NOT die.

Well, it's not for me anyway... have fun with your CoD bros!
